The next morning, Leo woke up really early as he quickly started preparing the things he needed for the trip. Going in front of his cabinet, he then took out a hidden large treasure box.

Inside the box was the money that Leo had saved for the past 10 years, exactly 10,000 gold coins. This money was supposedly the emergency money for the Heart city. But, since he had earned the affinity to become a Mage now, using it has become a must.

"I'm really too poor... I own a city, yet I'm only capable of saving 10,000 golds after 10 years. About 1,000 for every year, and mere 83 gold and 33 silver for every month." Thinking about it, Leo really wanted to cry.

Although Leo had said that 83 gold and 33 silver coins every month, it was actually not like that. The money he could earn every day totally depended on how many Magical Beast he could kill on that same day. Sometimes he would be able to kill a lot of Magical Beast, and sometimes only a few.

10,000 gold coins for 10 years was not really an astonishing feat, too. The majority of the Nobles, even mercenaries and soldiers, would be able to earn such an amount or even more if they could hunt Magical Beast every day for 10 years straight. This just shows how poor currently was the Heart city.

Shaking his head, Leo took the large treasure box as he went downstairs to eat his breakfast.

Reaching downstairs, Butler Xiao quickly greeted Leo as he took the treasure box from him, before guiding him to the kitchen to have his breakfast and leaving to prepare everything for the trip.

Leo was planning of only bringing Butler Xiao, and the Head of the Logistic Department, Fatty Ben, to his trip this time to the Silver City, the capital city of the Silver Kingdom. Bringing everyone would be a terrible idea since it would leave no one to manage the Affairs and Security of the Heart city, so bringing the two would be enough.

As soon as he finished his breakfast, Leo walked out of the manor.

Outside, Kevin was already waiting near the stable with three horses prepared.

"Good morning, Young Master!" Kevin greeted as he pulled a horse towards Leo.

"Good morning, Kevin, where is Fatty Ben?" Leo asked since he didn't saw Fatty Ben around.

"He told me that he will just meet both of you at the North gate because he has something to take care of before leaving." Kevin answered.

"Okay then, let's go, Butler Xiao! See you later, Kevin!" Leo said waving his hand.

Kevin could only wave his hand unwillingly. He really wanted to go with Leo. In fact, he would always be with the latter every time they made a trip to Silver City.

.....

Just like what Fatty Ben had said, he was indeed already waiting in front of the North gate of Heart city for Leo's arrival.

"Are you done with your preparation?" Leo asked as soon as he reached Fatty Ben.

"Yes, Young Master! I made five of my men to proceed ahead to scout any possible dangers on the road." Fatty, Ben quickly explained.

Leo just laughed it off and said, "What possible dangers could there be?"

Fatty Ben suddenly took out a poster from his pocket. This poster has a missing person word written on top of it and a woman's picture on its center, "I heard from one of my men stationed in Silver city that the people of the Blood race of Crimson Rose Kingdom has been running around causing havoc around the Silver Kingdom for a while now. Base on the report I received, apparently one of the princesses of the Crimson Rose Kingdom went missing a month ago and was still not found till this present time. It was suspected by the Blood race that the Fourth Prince was the one who had abducted her since the Fourth Prince had a history of collecting beautiful women of Foreign races in the past."

The Blood race was one of the races closely identical to the Humans. The difference between the two was only their white hair, red-colored pupils, their vampire fangs, and that they liked to drink blood from other races. Blood race also has another name, Vampires, since the people from this race are similar to the tales and myths about vampire's back on earth.

Leo stared at the poster as he noticed a beautiful woman in white hair, "So, the Fourth prince still didn't change such fetish despite almost causing the destruction of the East Coast of the Silver Kingdom? Last time was because of unexpectedly kidnapping a princess from one of the Sea race, and this time is the princess of a Blood race?"

Back then, the Fourth prince suddenly brought back a beautiful woman of a Sea race, specifically the Mermaid race. He was telling the whole Silver Kingdom just how honored and proud he was that he had met the most beautiful woman in the Celestial World, and he immediately planned to make the woman his concubine. However, the prince wasn't aware that the woman was actually from a powerful Kingdom of the Sea race, Blue Fin Kingdom.

Apparently, after the Blue Fin Kingdom, which the princess belongs to, heard such news, the East coast of the Silver Kingdom was immediately invaded by powerful Magical Sea Beast. The invader quickly demanded that the Fourth prince should return their princess back to their kingdom, or else they will destroy the entire Silver Kingdom.

Obviously, because of the Fourth Prince's rumored fetish, he didn't agree of letting go of the beautiful princess. Hence, the East coast was quickly attacked by the Blue Fin Kingdom, causing countless deaths of Humans and their blood flowing like a river. But, despite such a devastating event, the Fourth prince still didn't let go of the princess.

The King of the Silver Kingdom was really enraged by such a ridiculous decision of the Fourth Prince. So, the King quickly went to the East Coast, which was under the management of the Fourth prince, to punch and make his fourth son realize how dumb his decision was.

However, the moment the King arrived at the East Coast, he soon became dumbfounded as he saw with his very own eyes that it wasn't actually the Fourth prince that didn't want to let go of the princess, but the princess herself doesn't want to return because she had fallen deeply in love with the Fourth prince.

After hearing the reason, the Blue Fin Kingdom felt really ashamed of their action. They gave the Silver Kingdom a huge compensation for the damages they had caused, and they had also allowed the princess to marry the Fourth prince, but as a wife this time, not a mere concubine.

What happened to the Fourth Prince has become a laughingstock of the entire Silver Kingdom. Though no one has dared to openly laugh at it. But it was still being spread as a joke secretly by the people.

The people also described that the Fourth Prince as what a man supposed to be, being able to immediately make a beautiful princess fall in love at first sight.

Unfortunately though, despite it being treated as a joke, a lot of people still felt remorseful about what had happened. Due to not explaining the reason by the princess of the Blue Fin Kingdom, countless deaths have been fallen on the East Coast.

In conclusion, although being treated as a joke, it was also being treated as a tragedy by the Humans of the Silver Kingdom.

"Actually, the Fourth Prince has long stopped such ridiculous action after getting the princess of Sea race Kingdom as his wife. Rumors said that the Fourth Prince was an 'Under' by his wife..." Fatty Ben said before he let out a loud laugh.

"Then why are the Blood race still causing trouble?" Leo doubtfully asked.

"They don't believe such rumors. Apparently, their culture won't allow them to believe such an audacious thing. They believe that men should always be on the top of the hierarchy and the women will always be below them."

Leo finally understood that the conflict was because of the different cultures.

'What a stupid reason! With this conflict of culture, innocent lives are getting pulled into the mess. Well, the Celestial world was already a mess. A near to infinite complicated mess that no one could even understand!' Leo thought deeply.

After the discussion, they continued their journey to Silver City.

.....

As they neared the Silver city, one of the five scouts that Fatty Ben had sent out ahead suddenly went to report to them that he had found an unconscious injured woman nearby.

"But Young Master..." The scout was trying to explain further, but Leo immediately interrupted him.

"No more buts, let's go!" Leo quickly replied as he motioned the scout to lead the way.

Helplessly, the scout could only nod his head as he guided Leo and the others to where the injured woman was.

Driven by his curiosity and kindness, Leo immediately followed behind the scout to the location of the injured woman.

As soon as he arrived at the place, Leo quickly rushed towards the woman. But he became dumbfounded as soon as he removed the hood covering the woman's face.

The woman in front of Leo was so beautiful despite being covered in bruises. She has white as snow colored hair and skin, a perfect rounded breast and butt, and a slender, really sexy body. For short, the woman was devilishly attractive.

However, that wasn't the most important point. Because despite being such a beautiful woman, Leo wasn't feeling the least bit of attraction or even lust to her, but instead whether he should back out or not as soon as possible. He was feeling horrified and terrified at the same time.

"Why didn't you tell me the complete information!" Leo turned his head around as he yelled angrily towards the scout.

The scout immediately felt wronged, "But..."

"Aysh... Dammit! Is this what they called as 'when you talk about the devil the devil will come knocking at your door' or something." Leo helplessly said.

Leo wasn't a narrow-minded person that would blame every mistake on his subordinates. He was aware that he can't really blame the scout, since, in the first place, it was he who didn't let the scout finish the explanation awhile ago.

Looking at the devilishly beautiful woman, Leo can't help but shake his head helplessly.

The woman was the topic they were talking about a while ago, the Princess of the Crimson Rose Kingdom.

What an unexpected encounter!
